A member asked:
Would it be possible to wear high heels after an achilles tendon rupture?

Not only possible,: But probably easier. The achilles tendon will often shorten with injury. This will make it easier to wear heels, but you should still really work on stretching it out to it's normal length.

While ruptured?: It is possible but not recommended. There are too much risks involved. There will be too much swelling as well. Now if you mean after repair than high heels definitely possible after healing.

Yes: But very moderate size heels. Make sure it is completely healed and don't go over 2 inch in height.
